Businesses where the supply of liquor is only a small part of the products and services on offer can be exempt from the requirement to hold a liquor licence. This includes some bed and breakfasts, hairdressers, florists, gift-makers and butchers. For more information, see Minor business exemption.

Trading hours

No set trading hours apply. Applicants should specify the hours they desire in the application form, which will be assessed in context of the scale and scope of liquor supply.

Applicants are advised to lodge liquor licence applications at least eight weeks in advance. The time taken to process an application will vary depending on a range of factors including the complexity of the application and any objections which may be raised.
